It remains unclear if the Spark EV will make its way to Australia - Holden has a firm policy of not commenting on future models - although the company has hinted that it is reviewing the model for a local debut.

Holden has joined the electric vehicle game in Australia with the recent debut of its new Volt extended-range EV.

The Volt is driven primarily by a 111kW/368Nm front-mounted electric motor, paired with a small 1.4 litre petrol engine, the latter powering a generator that keeps the electric motor's lithium-ion battery pack charged.
